Hear from patients and families.
“[Our doctor] knows her stuff and is very compassionate. She’s really helped our child develop healthy habits.”
“Scheduling was easy, [our doctor] was highly responsive, and she went above and beyond to work with my family and insurance to get necessary approvals.”
“We were amazed at how quickly we were able to get an appointment given how long the wait is to see a [pediatric endocrinologist]. Overall, I felt very heard and well-supported.”
Does weight care always include medication?
No. Care can focus on nutrition, activity, sleep and other health needs. Your clinician discusses medication only when it is appropriate and reviews the benefits, risks and alternatives with you.
What does a pediatric endocrinologist add to weight care?
Pediatric endocrinologists specialize in growth, puberty, hormones and metabolism, including diabetes. They evaluate weight concerns alongside these areas and decide whether further testing is needed. A weight concern does not necessarily mean a hormone problem.
Can young adults receive care?
Yes. Adults ages 18–26 can request their own appointment for weight, blood sugar or hormone concerns and choose how family is involved. Explore young-adult care.
Do we need labs or a referral first?
You can request care without lab results or a diagnosis. Your clinician decides which tests are needed. Our team checks whether your plan requires a referral and explains any next steps.
Where do visits take place?
First visits are by video. The patient must be physically in Virginia or Maryland during the visit. If an in-person exam is needed, your clinician explains the next step.
What if confidence or body image is part of our concern?
Tell us how these concerns affect daily life. We listen without judgment, consider age-appropriate mood and eating screening, and discuss additional support. Endocrine care does not replace mental health treatment or school action against bullying.
